A big part of being human is making choices. God has given us the world to look after, and He holds us responsible for the choices we make and the way we live.
The ultimate good is to live according to God’s purpose and plans. He wants us to….
CREATE & MAINTAIN MUTUAL LOVE RELATIONSHIPS
BETWEEN GOD AND HUMANS
AND HUMANS AND HUMANS.
Sometimes the circumstances we find ourselves in are less than perfect. It is hard to achieve God’s ideal plans. Then we need to RETRIEVE as much good and limit as much harm as possible in the situation.

Another Small Step…. (not so small)

This week the Glebe Administration Board approved a $1.5 million dollar unsecured loan to Dapto Anglican Church for our new building. The level of our pledges exceeded their requirements and now the full funding for the building project is in place. Obviously the sooner the funds roll in, the less interest we will end up paying over the life of the project. What it means is that once Wollongong Council approval is received we can move to tender and contracting builders expeditiously.
Praise God for your generosity and commitment. One of the encouraging aspects of our pledge responses was the number of first time pledges we received. I have heard many stories of how families and friends spent much time and prayer arriving at their commitment. THANK YOU.
Some key points for your prayers:
• Pray that formal Council approval is received within the next three weeks.
• Pray as the plans are drawn up for the new entrance to our existing building (an important first step which can be built as soon as the D.A. is received)
• Pray that we will quickly find the right major building contractor once the tendering process begins.
